So to me this line means that his dismissal of her Anima power cuts her down from proud, tall timber to cold stone with just a "so what?". I know Jung uses Anima to describe the feminine archetype of the unconscious mind (the yin to the yang), but I think Joni is using it to describe the spirit rising. Given the religious imagery in the song, the part about "wash my guilt of Eden, wash and balance me" may be related to the prayer "Anima Christi": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anima_Christi Just my two cents. At least we cleared up long ago "your notches, liberation doll"!
